Proof That the Apocalypse is Closer Than We Think!!!

That's it!

I've had enough!

I'm now, more than ever, convinced that the Apocalypse is closer than we think!!!

The end is near

Try as we might to fend it off, I feel that we're fighting the inevitable.

Why do I feel this way you might be asking yourself?

Is it Global Warming?

Global warming

Is it the Worldwide Recession we're currently experiencing?

Shrinking dollar

Is it the fact that Joe the Plumber has had his 15 minutes of fame extended by becoming a war correspondent for the web site PJTV.com?

Duhhhh!

No, no and NO!

The Apocalypse is closer than we think because of a new product from Ohio based Comfilon Corp.

And that product, my dear readers is........

MANTYHOSE

Mantyhose

That's right....Mantyhose.....pantyhose for men!

Complete with "Control brief", "no fly opening", "mild support", "microfiber thermofabric" and "enhanced toes"!

Man strutting his stuff in his Mantyhose

Well now my dear readers, it's your turn to ring in on this new phenomenom. Let us know what you think about this new craze. Is this a product that's really necessary? Is the Apocalypse really closer than we think? Is Mantyhose responsible for the end of civilization as we know it?!!!

Take the survey now!

wow-I've seen it all now! Pretty funny.

Craig, I can't imagine this trend catching on... but then again, what do I know?!

Mantyhose can well be the end of civilization as we know it... But hey, wait a minute... didn't they have those back in the Middle Ages??!?? :)

Craig, I don't even know what to say the mantyhose is just awesome(not). That is a new trend thats going to take a lot for me to comform to. wow wow wow

Craig, that excellent. I hope those come in the color nude and what sizes.

Slender, Small, thick, huskey, puffy, big, and damnnnn.................. I'll need XXXXX (Damnnn.......) size.

~ Life is good

Love the blog! Great post....did make me chuckle! :)

Thanks,

Amber Marshall

Hi Craig

OK would you ware them with walking short and sandals to a biker bar? Just checking. Your right it's the end of the world.

Good luck and success

Lou Ludwig

Craig, I just commented to Lane that he needed to get a life, but now you need to do the same. It's about time men had to wear the same clothes that the fashion industry has been trying to foist on women for so long.

I'd rather see men where these than see some of those ugly knees and black socks with shorts!

Cindy - I thought I had seen it all.....and then this! Ouch!

Lourdes - They might have had something similar in the Middle Ages.....But I was just a kid then. I don't remember!!!

David - Oh, I think you're ready for your very own pair of Mantyhose David!!! Should I release those college pictures of you from that party?!!!

Roy - Folks, this is an actual quote from Roy: "Do these Mantyhose make my butt look fat?"!!!!!!!!

Amber - If I made you laugh, then my work is done for the day! Thanks for popping on in and taking the time to comment. Come back soon!

About time ya'll started wearing miserable uncomfortable items like this. Don't forget the "Man-zier"

I refuse to take the survey until I see a picture of you wearing them. And no photo cropping!

And I thought all possible inventions had already been invented...

JAN

Craig, If I said what I really want to say, I would get booted off AR. I just hope that these don't make make my butt look fatter than it really is...

Craig, not sure I should ask, but how did you stumble on Mantyhose?

That's OK, you don't need to explain! lolol

J/K Shawn

Craig: Great post! Thanks for the giggle this morning. I heard of those Mantyhose a couple of days ago...sounds like an SNL skit or something Kramer would have thought up on Seinfeld, right? Also, the pix of Bush is hillarious too! Looks like we share the same sense of humor as well!

OMG! I am rolling on the floor laughing hysterically!! What a fantastically entertaining post!

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!

Ellie - The "manzier" was definitely a thought in my mind when I was writing this blog! So, with that being said, here's Kramer displaying the "Manzier"!

The Manzier

Terrie - I'm thinking that's a site you wouldn't want to see! And don't even try to visualize me in mantyhose! You'll just make yourself sick!

Donna - Just when you thought you've seen and heard it all, right?!!!

Michael - Thank you for taking the high road on this one!!! Oh, and it's your fat butt that makes your butt look fat, not the mantyhose!!!

Shawn - I could tell you how I stumbled on mantyhose, but you know I'd have to kill you then!!! So, I'm not going to say a word since my goal today was not to kill anyone!!!

Kristin - I knew when I subscribed to your blog that our sense of humor shared a similar, albeit twisted, theme! And now that you've subscribed, you'll be able to confirm that fact too!

Caren - If I've made you laugh, then my work is done for the day!!! You're welcome! You're welcome! You're welcome! Come back soon!

Great....it's already hard enough to identify some of the male population from us girls with all he metrosexuals running around and now this! Crickey!

Craig, all I can say is Ewwwwww! I tried to take taht stupid survey. LOL. I couldn't get beyond the first question.

hmmm they are out of Central OH ....it says at the very bottom "This is not a pantyhose fetish web site." This puts a whole new light on pantyhose polls...

Cecily - Look for the Adam's apple! It's a dead giveaway!

Bob - Ewwww is a good description. Well said!

Maureen - I guess putting that disclaimer on their site makes the product more credible?!!!

If they had a blog I can't imagine the comments and the spam it would attract

Craig, Christmas just passed....do you know how many stockings I could have filled with this wonderful gift? Surely every man would enjoy a pair--or two :)

Maureen - Oh, I'm sure the zingers would be flying if they had a blog to post comments on!

Carole - Oh, I'm sure "every man would enjoy a pair--or two" as you said in your comment!!!

Hi Craig, I just saw you comment (with illustration) at Alan's snow post so I thought I would rdop by and see what else you were up to! This is pretty dang (as we sometimes say in Texas) funny too! Best to you in the New Year!

Hi Craig - I think Joe Nameth was the inspiration for this product; I wonder if he's getting any royalties. And we all know Max Klinger would have an interest here. lol

Russell - Thank you for stopping on by and taking the time to comment! It is appreciated. Come back soon!

Jon - Now you're showing your age! but for those of you who don't know what Jon is talking about, Klinger was the anti-war character on the show M*A*S*H who frequently cross-dressed in his attempt to get a section 8 out of the Army! Joe Namath was the Super Bowl winning quarterback for the New York Jets back when the wheel was still square! He starred in a pantyhose commercial during his heyday. Joe Namath Commercial.

Now i guess I'm showing my age too!

Ok Craig; I certainly laughed alot on this one. But want to know where you got your illustrations? Did you pose for some of the photos? Did your wife mind your wearing her hose?

This one takes the cake. Life was better when a screw was a screw and a ho was a hoe.

Eileen - If I've made you laugh, then my work is done for the day!!! Sme of the illustrations I created in Photoshop, some I just found lying around on the web! And, thankfully for the public at large, I am not in any of those photos! When I get a wife, I'll let you know if she approves of me in pantyhose!!!

Cameron - Very funny! Well said!

JAN

2009

you have issues - that's all there is to it! ;)

I can't wait to get my very own pair, for what use I do not know but I'm sure some ad exec will tell me when to wear them. Yes if this product is seriously out there, we are nearing the apocalypse...

Very clever...so nice to laugh! Now, where in the world did you find these? Do you already have a pair? What do you wear with open-toed shoes???

Leesa - I know, I know....I do have issues! But I conducted an online poll and 98% of the respondents said it was my mother's fault! I saved a ton of money on therapy!!!

Ted - Thanks for that visual of you in Mantyhose! I just lost my breakfast!!!

Diane - Thanks for stopping on by! In my endless effort to view every web site ever created, I came across these. Thankfully for the civilized world I do NOT own a pair. Nor am I considering getting some any time soon!!! And as far as open toed shoes go. All my shoes are open toed! Just look at this picture of my work shoes!!! Bring me some qualified buyers! Papa needs a new pair of shoes!!!

Papa needs a new pair of shoes!

Maybe you should make a website to sell Mantyhose, get rich and then buy all the sneakers you want! LMAO

Hey Craig!

Where is that picture of you in the manty hose?

We need to take that down from the office!!

Craig, What a hoot! My husband would DIE first. What is the purpose, I wonder? All I have to say is, good luck wearing these:) I HATE pantyhose. They do make these sound comfy. The got me at the "no fly opening and enhanced toes". Hummm..maybe I should make the switch to mantyhose. What do you think?

Funny with a little chuckle... lol FYI- Kramer came up with the "Bro".

Sandy - Congratulations! You have just become my 50th blog subscriber! I'll do my best to insure you never regret signing up!!! Look for an extra chewy treat in your mailbox soon!!!

George - You know my Photoshop skills. I'm having it made into a billboard with your face in place of mine! It'll be posted on Capitol Blvd. any day now!!!

Elizabeth - I need the ones with the reinforced knees like all my Garanimals pants!!! Remember those?!!! And, truth be told, I would rather die first than wear these!!!

Tony - Yup, the "Manzier" was Mr. Costanza's name for their product!!! Thanks for popping in! Come back soon!

JAN

2009

Hi Craig, too funny! I remember the Manzier but come on, mantyhose? I suppose that it's meant for the outdoor construction worker. That extra layer, ya know...

Marian - I hope you're right that it's meant for an extra layer and not some other reason!

FEB

2009

OMG! LMAO! Even went over to Mr. Roger's neighborhood! I'm in!

Debi

Debi - There's plenty more where that came from!

Come back soon!

All the best to you!

You are a HOOT! Mantyhose! I LOVE it!! Thanks for the laugh!!

Debe - Now I know from the emails we were sending back and forth you definitely weren't expecting this!!! Gotcha!
